3.0 DIESEL with 4.8is rear silencers.
Four months later and I finally completed the install of the 4.8is rear silencers on my Diesel.
Just want to share a few pics with you guys but I will submit an article with more pics and install notes.
Sorry for taking pics of a car full of dust!!!!!!

I want this !!! I am very anxious to read your article Just a quick question: are the new pipes welded onto the front pipes, coming from the engine ? Or are they 'connected' in some other way?


Looks really good !!

You are cheating!I will be submitting an article but you are pushing me to send you another photo,which I will gladly submit........

Both pipes are connected at the rear.I tried tuse as little as possible of the 4.8 tube as this is 63mm and the Diesel is 51mm ,so that I wouldnt loose too much back pressure.I will prepare the article this weekend,so please wait...Thanks

EXHAUST CONDENSATION.Could you please report on how long it takes for the condensation to clear from your downpipes when you start your X5 from cold ?Mine takes about 20-25 minutes with an outside temperature of 10-15 Degrees.I am asking this because with straight pipes you will notice the condensation more as the tips now point out instead of down.
